@samsterby Neither point is valid. Global #energy #demand is going to exceed the increase in #supply by #renewables, leaving a gap filled by #fossilfuels, even in 2050. Under the #capitalist system, the Jevons Paradox ensures that increases in energy #efficiency result in increases in energy #consumption, rather than the reverse, & #social #justice is unobtainable under #capitalism. If we want #climate justice, capitalism has to go. But there's no way that you can have a scenario with (1/2)

As the Trump administration shifts back to fossil fuels, solar power stakeholders in Japan and India are seeking new ways to collaborate. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/27/energy/india-japan-solar-links/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #solar #energy #renewables #india #indiajapanrelations #osakaexpo #internationalsolaralliance
The good news is:
- sales of heaters burning fossil #gas are down 41%
- sales of heaters burning #oil are down 81%
- sales of #heatpumps are up 55%
The bad news is: In absolute numbers, the additional sales of heatpumps don't compensate for the drops in fossil heaters. The industry is facing a big drop in demand overall.
(The numbers are for #Germany.)

"#Dembecki 's work reveals the deep connections between #BigOil, political power & #Disinformation, especially in countries like Canada where fossil fuel expansion is still framed as a “nation-building” project when all the science and the stakes say otherwise."
Is there a cheap instrument I can buy for measuring wind speeds? I'm thinking about getting a small wind turbine and would like start looking at sites and getting an idea of how one might perform.
"The government can also make electricity more affordable by supporting not-for-profit power companies. Another good move would be to help more households to install rooftop solar by providing access to long-term low-interest finance."

"#India is stepping up the pace of the energy transition"
"The Indian government has announced that non-fossil energy sources now account for 50 per cent of installed power generation capacity. This means that the country will reach a target of the Paris Climate Agreement earlier."
"India, the world's most populous country, is the third largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, after #China and the #US."
"Another milestone in the energy transition has been reached - five years earlier than the Paris Climate Agreement stipulates."
"Of the almost 485 gigawatts of electricity generation capacity currently installed in the country, a good 243 gigawatts were attributable to non-fossil energy sources in June 2025. The largest share of this, namely around 185 gigawatts, comes from energy sources such as solar or wind. The rest are hydropower projects (49 gigawatts) and nuclear energy (8.8 gigawatts)."

In my US region, we got #fracking banned from the Delaware River watershed years back. But according to the Riverkeeper, the feds are trying to overturn the ban.
Gee...and I thought my novel about a coven battling a pipeline in this area was outdated.
I'd much rather my novel read as a past issue than that we need to ramp up for this fight again.
